46-200 Resistors Question
#1

Philco 46-200 restoration project.    Ready to dive in.  

All caps will be replaced.   But I have a couple of newby questions about resistors:

1.  If a given resistor tests within specs (taking into account whether it's a 20% or 10% tolerance resistor), should I leave it in place?   In other words, replace only the bad ones?

2.  I know that changes were made throughout the production run on this radio, but mine has a resistor or two where the schematics (and subsequent production change notes) don't show one; and conversely, it is missing a resistor or two where the schematic says there should be one.    When it comes to the resistors, should I restore the radio strictly to the schematic?   Or should I restore it to "as found" configuration?

I should mention that it works as is, meaning it picks up stations and has good volume.

I should also mention that it looks like it has had a minimum of tampering -- I really suspect it left the factory with the resistor configuration it has now.  BUT I'm pretty new to this...   so I'm asking the gurus.
